Oops, my mistake. Should be fixed now, ta.

From the sourcecode:
for (int i=0; i 0.01)

Which might be:
for (int i=0; i LT ??; i+=0.01)
so what’s the upper bound?

Maybe add html-encoding to see LT, GT, EQ?

Wow, that’s…that’s really quite cool

Well done! I really wanted to get shadowing into Mop of Destiny, but I couldn’t come up with a good way to do so. I wish I’d had this at the time! Maybe for the sequel…

My approach to this can be summed up in the post here — it was essentially a weighted distribution system (i.e. calculate weights for different actions and pick one based on weights), but it lived inside an HFSM.

Definitely! Get something working even if it has flaws, then improving it the next time around is much easier

I think that makes sense, although it probably means my animation system needs another layer to handle that kind of request since at the moment it’s pretty simple.

I’m getting to the point where I can’t quite see the wood for the trees - I suspect the best way forwards now is to get my hands dirty and see what works and what doesn’t…

The important thing here is to decouple your AI logic from the animation state. So you don’t have the AI mirror individual transitions in your animation systems. Instead, you just have the AI decide what to do based on the animation state variable, which is decoupled.

So when you request a death animation, the AI reads the current animation state, potentially using other factors to decide what to do, then requests an animation.

Does that make sense? It’s getting late

I’ve not seen the Halo 2 one, I’ll have to hunt that down, thanks. Have you any ideas for handling the transitions to damaged/death behaviors and animations that I mentioned above?
